Horrible horrible horrible pictures. And you tease us with no FTS!!! Man o man. Need to use your thread for reference to see what colonies are supposed to look like. Thanks for sharing. What is the "only you can prevent forest fires"? Nice red. And horrible crystal clear water. If there is even water in that tank.

Thank you BrooksReef. I am happy that my little concept tank serves as inspiration to other reefers.

LOL. Thanks, Singlefin. The name of the red and green digi is "Forest Fire Digi". I really like the contrasting green and red coloration. I'm glad I provided the pic of the Green Slimer poking out of the water to prove there is water in that tank

No problem, Frank. Hope all is well with you and the fam. Take it slow and get that tank perfect again!

Thanks, Zack! I'm really liking the progress I've made with the tank. I'm running out of room so it may almost be time for an upgrage... This time with some rock

Awesome, thanks for sharing

And tank you VB68 for viewing my thread! I appreciate your comment.

James I have actually borrowed your idea. I have done the frag rack thing in my 30 deep blue rimless. It's Not zeo though. All rock in sump and a blue glow frag rack in display. I did it so I can fit as many acros as possible in there. My next upgrade is going to be similar as well. Only racks of acros. Your tank was the inspiration behind it all! So thanks for that James!

Glad I could help, Zack! I had two people that inspired me. Machado Desousa of Portugal, and Sunnx . Machado has a garage filled with shelves of SPS coral. I wanted the same type of setup, but with BlueGlow Racks. SunnyX inspired me with his approach to bacteria and carbon dosing. Although I didn't go the vodka MicroBacter Route, I did end up using zeo. As for the coral that is one of my favorites... I have no idea what it is. I cant really explain the coloration of the coral. It has an awesome glow to it, and it has this very unique blue coloration. It was a score from a local LFS!

Looking good James, can you elaborate on which zero products your using and your dosage?

Looking good James, can you elaborate on which zero products your using and your dosage?

Absolutely, Brett. My approach to zeo has evolved over time. I only use 300ml of the zeo media in my reactor at any time. I replace all of the media every 6 weeks. I dose 6 drops of the zeobac every 4 days. I dose 1.4ml of the zeostart through out the day with the help of a BRS doser. I dose 6ml of the pohls extra twice a week. Once in a while I will experiment with the zeofood. I do have to be careful as I can get little patches of green slime algae that accompanies the over usage of an amino. One of the biggest factors that have contributed to my success is feeding. Oyster Feast is my food of choice. Since I do not use Rock or Sand in this system (for the most part), I do quite a few water changes. Sometimes I perform two water changes in a week. My total water volume is 150g net.

Wow dude it's looking amazing. Can we have lots of full daylight colony shots next time please? Thanks.

Hi Sahin, YES! I just got my new AVAST Marine Works Porthole today. I can now take some great top downs without trying to avoid the glare of the T5s. BigE provided some tips on how I can take some good shots. I'll post my new daylight shots this Saturday. If anyone would like to see a certain type of pic, please post your request and I will do my best to capture it this weekend. James

Exceptional colors on your sticks, James!:thumb:

 

[CUNAReefer]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Aquavista - Got your PM and I'll respond ASAP. In the office today working on quarter end close, so life is a little crazy today

Sahin - Below are some daylight shots I took on full auto mode. I used an AVAST Marine Works porthole to take the under water pics. Still learning how to use it. I hope you like them!
